This course corresponds to a one-year high school geometry course. In addition to a detailed syllabus, three midterm exams, and a final exam, all in workbook format, this course also includes a CD-ROM with video lectures for each chapter covered in the textbook, as well as highly interactive concept animations, exercises, and chapter quizzes. The course offers comprehensive coverage of the major topics in geometry, including congruent and similar triangles, the Pythagorean Theorem, right- triangle trigonometry, geometric inequalities, and coordinate geometry. A strong emphasis on proofs, including indirect proofs, is another important feature of this course.
